Abstract:

Dural lymphoma is a rare form of CNS lymphoma. Radiological differential diagnosis includes inflammatory pseudotumor, meningioma, tuberculosis and sarcoidosis. Morphologically, it is usually a low-grade lymphoma, composed of a vaguely nodular proliferation of small mature lymphocytes. There is no consensus on optimal treatment. Therapeutic options include surgical resection, focal radiotherapy or whole brain radiotherapy alone or combined with chemotherapy. This lymphoma has a good prognosis. Clinical, histological, genetic and prognostic features will be discussed.
